The Greetery (Recollective Holiday Collection} Day 3

I can't believe we're already to the third and final day of full reveals for the Recollective Holiday Collection from The Greetery! It's been so fun for me to share all of my projects with you using this amazing collection and I want to thank you for your  sweet comments! Don't forget to leave a comment here, and on each designers' blog, to be eligible to win one of two $50 gift certificates to the shop! I thoroughly enjoy reading through each and every one of your comments to see which products are "speaking" to you! Don't forget to head to The Greetery Blog for the official "meet and greet" for today's featured products!

As tradition goes, Betsy has conjured up the CUTEST treat container to fill with goodies, cash, or to be used as an ornament or to accent a package or gift card holder! Isn't this 3D hatchback just the cutest thing ever? I went with more traditional Christmas colors for my pair of cars, BUT I was super tempted to make one bright yellow because my mom drove a little yellow hatchback when we were young and one of our traditions was to drive around to the fresh Christmas tree lots until we found the "perfect" tree! I can't remember putting it on top of the hatchback, but that MUST have been what we did! ha ha! Putting a tree on top of this 3D car is a cinch using the cute Christmas Tree die that is perfectly symmetrical so by scoring, folding, and gluing, you can  have a tree ready for the top in no time! 

My green hatchback got a pair of skis on the top all covered in snow! We had record breaking snowfall in Utah last year, so for this to be accurate, I should have BURIED the car in puff snow! LOL!!! I used Marvy Uchida Liquid Applique for my realistic looking snow! These cute cars are really easy to assemble....I did experience a hiccup (ahem!) with the bottom and found out too late that I did it wrong! BUT....all is well and now I can create a whole fleet of these tiny cars (even a bright yellow one) correctly! ha ha!

My next project features the adorable new Cheer Mobile stamp/die set! Once again, I chose traditional Christmas colors for my cute car and background! To begin, I die cut all of the pieces included in the Cheer Mobile die collection and then stamped them all out. I set them aside and got to work on the background!

This card features the Christmas Sampler stencil collection, but this time I omitted most of the details from the middle so the car would have a nice place to land. I heat embossed the two sentiments, which are also included in the Cheer Mobile stamp set, using white powder on red cardstock and then die cut them using the coordinating dies. I added all of the stamped pieces using foam squares and liquid glue, tucking foliage here and there until I was happy with the arrangement. 

I had so much fun getting in the Christmas spirit creating with this gorgeous collection! Everything will be available for purchase tomorrow at 10 am ET. Thanks for fluttering by!
